In 2015, with the influx of many games, TV games have developed vigorously. Casual games such as "Run, Sheep" and "Never Give Up" that we have experienced before have given players a different sense of freshness. But what happens after the novelty wears off? When will TV games no longer rely on casual games for survival and development? This is still a question worth discussing.

Aren’t there any blockbusters in video games?

Now, the adventure fighting game "Breakout 2: Revenge of Angels" exclusively published by Ruiyue has also landed on the big screen of TV. Through Ruiyue Nibiru Game City, you can also get this game as soon as possible. Can this work become a masterpiece to attract players?

Game Experience

The entire game uses a sci-fi mechanical style of scenes, and the full mechanical venue and energy progress loading interface are also different from many horizontal TV games. The character's shape and running also make the 3D effect more obvious, and the full range of special effects of attack skills are also displayed on the large TV screen.

Using the controller to operate "Breakout 2" has achieved better interaction between humans and machines. The character movements and skill releases are relatively smooth, and the controller is well adapted to the game. However, the mouse setting is too flexible in the selection interface. If it can be adjusted later, the effect may be better.

The setting of a single-character adventure game may make "Breakout 2" similar to other TV games, but the combination of melee combat and long-range shooting has brought many variables to the gameplay, and the choice of weapons is also accompanied by the change of skill special effects, which has a good effect on the big screen of TV. Although each level has different types and difficulties of BOSS for players to challenge, how to avoid the coordinated attacks of BOSS and groups of monsters will become a place to test the player's operating ability.

If a player dies accidentally in the game, he can use tokens to revive, which avoids the situation of starting over, which is more humane. In addition to resurrection, the mall also provides players with a way to use tokens. In addition to providing common props such as guns and medicines, tokens can also enhance the lethality of character skills, and strengthening characters will also make the game a lot easier.

In addition to obtaining tokens in the game, payment charges also provide another way for players. Relatively speaking, the payment process with Alipay is also much faster. Compared with the charging method of 5 yuan to obtain 7,000 tokens, its value is equivalent to a heavy weapon + multiple skill upgrades, which is not difficult for players to accept.

It is worth mentioning that in actual operation, "Breakout 2" is still picky about hardware performance. On the 40-inch Xiaomi TV 2, the characters sometimes freeze when running. However, on the micro-console with better performance, the game fluency is maintained at a higher level. Therefore, if you want to play this game smoothly, a box or TV with superior processor chip performance is essential.

What's holding back big video game titles?  

Not long ago, at the second "2600 Big Names Private Meeting", TV game practitioners discussed and analyzed the factors that hinder the development of TV games, and identified payment processes, operational adaptation, hardware performance and standard setting as the three primary problems.

How to become a TV game masterpiece? Judging from "Breakout 2", the game content has abandoned the "casual" theme and is closer to heavy games.

As for the three major problems, the introduction of Alipay has solved the problem of payment process. As for operation adaptation, although the game cannot avoid using a compromise solution such as a virtual mouse pointer, it has made a significant improvement compared to the operation adaptation of early TV games.

However, there are still some challenges in matching the hardware and games of different devices. Even on newer devices like the Xiaomi Mi TV 2, frame drops and stucks still occur when running Breakout 2. How smart TV devices can reach a unified level to support the running of large-scale games will be the key to determining whether there will be a continuous emergence of large-scale games on gaming platforms for a long time in the future.
